Cheesy Chicken and Noodles

This meal actually started out with a mishap. The recipe idea I had in my head just did not work! So, I ended up tossing out a bag of noodles and a few ingredients. Then, I started over! My husband informed me after he ate this meal that he was really happy I started over because he LOVEDit. Keep in mind, he is the picky one in our house!

Cook the noodles as directed in a large stock pot. In a skillet add the pepper to the chicken and cook until completely done.

Once the noodles have been drained, return to the stock pot. Now, add the soup, milk, and butter then stir to coat the noodles.

Using an 8×8 baking dish, spray it with non stick cooking spray, then pour the noodles in the dish. Top with the cubed chicken, then add the shredded cheese and bread crumbs. This will bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

We served this dish with a side of canned carrots, and I topped the cheesy chicken with a few real bacon bits.

My husband ended up going back for seconds, and I thought I would have some for lunch the next day; however, the whole dish was gone before I even got home for lunch! This was an easy and affordable meal. Plus, it was very kid friendly!

Ok, this sounds like a hit at my house. We are a family of 7 though. How many would this recipe serve. Should I double it?
3 kiddos are 7 and under so they don’t eat a ton…maybe with this recipe they will though?!? Hmmmmmm……

I would probably double it to be on the safe side. This made 6 servings for us, but I think my husband ate enough for 2 servings each time!!

I make this for us all the time. We love this recipe! I use egg noodles instead and only use 1/2 a bag. Last night when I made it, I added a can of cream of chicken soup. It made the dish so much creamier and my husband said it was the best I had ever made it! Thanks so much for the recipe!
